I think it would be best to stay away from borton, whoever that is. That is an outrageous price for a pump replacement. Stay away from dealers except for warranty and recall issues. Find a good independent shop that likes Volvos.

You should be able to drive a car without the in tank it as long as the tank is kept fairly full, like more than half.
You would not save much buying a used part in this case as a pump is inexpensive (28.00 from FCP Groton), the labor to install will be more than the pump. It should be replaced with a new filter sock and a small rubber tube which will normally come with it.

You will find much info on the pumps in the F700/900 FAQ section.

Are you sure it is the pump????? What are your symptoms?
